Nice... a fellow local or were you just visiting? Being only ~14 miles away Bodiam Castle's been on my "to-do" list to photo ever since I got a dslr (4 months ago) - but there's a lot to photograph round here so haven't had the time for this one yet =).
Love the natural framing - nice composition! IMO it might have worked really well in B&W, it would have really popped the castle and made the beauty of the textures really stand out.
I like how the castle and sky are greys/purples with a sense of foreboding, but the reflection is green/yellow and bright. It looks like a juxtaposition of the dark reality of castles with the fairytale version reflected underneath it. I'm interested in learning what type of editing you used.
Beautiful! The natural framing with bushes in the foreground is a nice touch. The dark, underexposed foliage and the moody skies add a foreboding to the picture. I would've chopped a little off the left of the pic because it doesn't add anything to the picture and makes it a little off-balance I feel.
This is nice. With a few small tweaks, I think it would be *very* nice. The horizon feels slightly crooked, like it's rotated a hair clockwise. It might be due to the weight and position of the castle and the trees on either side. Also, the cropping seems a little off. The castle needs to be either more in the center, or more off-center - to my eye it looks to be in a slightly awkward spot. But the lighting and overall feel is great!
